The beer thread

Karaage is marinated boneless fried chicken. I’m typing this from a beer bar (Starboard) in Kobe where we just ordered some. It’s supposed to be good at the Kyoto Beer Lab.

Can I drop a sake in here? Pleased to find this in the depachika at the Tobu store at Ikebukuro station in Tokyo, for a very modest price. Went well with the meal of end-of-day-discounted sushi and faux-French sweets we enjoyed in our Airbnb.

I made a new friend, I helped him home-brew a batch a few weeks ago and in return I got a party keg of the batch, a “hoppy” stout. I used to homebrew too but since I moved I haven’t got enough space.

One of our local breweries closed just before Christmas and we snagged a bottle of their finest sour. Tonight was quite possibly the final drips I’ll taste from that place and very groovebox-y!

Got this in my Binny’s email today. Going to have to keep an eye out for it for the upcoming holiday.

@Kegeratorz might be interested in this one as well.

Hell yeah! I’m going to ask about that! Sounds delicious!

I’ve been on painkillers for the pulled tooth and haven’t had a drink in 3 weeks. What should my first beer be?

It has to be pretty low proof or it might knock me on my ass. So none of that double IPA whatnot.

I had one of those NA beers by Athletic with lunch yesterday. It was fine.

If you’re looking for something with a little hop character, but lower ABV than standard IPA’s, my two favorite sessionable IPA’s are Lagunitas Daytime, and Founders All Day IPA.

Thanks! I like All Day IPA but I’m kind of sick of it. It was the only good beer at my corner bodega for a really long time. (They also had Pils Urquell but when you looked at the bottom, half the time it was an expired case.)

I’ll look for the Lagunitas.
